★★★☆☆3bydayrider

Had to relocate the turn signals. And the fork tubes contact the bar before the neck stop, 14 sportster low , I would look elsewhere if you have a sporty

great bars excellent shipping

★★★★★5bySouth Bound

The Cobra Highway bar is The Best. The item came packaged outstandingly and completely protected from the shady handing of the delivery service(s). My hats off to the packaging department. The Bar it self is Beyond and Excellent fir for my '08 Dyna and the chrome is Better than the UNGLY HD Bar that I've been subjected to using. Went on Perfectly and the shipping was Stupid Fast! If you've got a 07 or later Dyna, This Is It!

Great Purchase! Easy to install. Ironic the day they were installed, I had a spill which protected me from serious muffler burn.

★★★★★5bybryan83332

Exactly what the bike needed. Great investment and makes the bike look great....

★★★★★5byrbspringer1999

The bars were delivered in just a few days, way ahead of the estimated delivery date, which was great. The bars fit perfectly and took little effort to install them. They look great on the bike. I will continue to use J&P as my go to bike supply store.

★★★★★5byhpeterson10579

Love this bar! it has the look i wanted!!!

★★★★★5bydrkrueger

Installed on my 05 Softail fit perfect, lined right up less than 10 minutes to install. Good quality $100 less than the Harley ones. 2nd time I have used Cobra bars.

★★★★★5bycolt.45

Freeway bar fit perfect on my heritage took all of 10 min. Thanks for such good products

I like having the Freeway Bars on the bike they add a sense of style to it and having the pegs on them adds another position that your able be in which is nice for longer rides, I personally start to cramp up if I'm in one position for a long time Having the freeway bars adds another position and makes you capable of switching positions and stretching out. the only thing that I didn't like was when I rested my foot against it, the pipe gave to the pressure as if the mettle of the pipe wasn't thick enough.

★★★★★5bymarshacale

I searched all over before purchasing and J&P had the best price! Couldn't be happier with my new freeway bars! Quick delivery too!

★★★★★5bySportsterTammy

Put them on in no time. Went on a bike run with 6700 bikes, glad I had it. Makes my Softail look awesome now.

Great bars and much cheaper than HD's. Easy install, may want another set of hands but can be done alone.

★★★★★5bymustangsupercharged

Good service....

★★★★★5bygene_stimson@hotmail.com

fit good looks good good price

★★★★★5byvic adams

Fantastic product, looks great on my 2012 shadow rs! I did have to drop the radiator to move the wire harness for the electric fan, took over an hour to install but not too much trouble. Watch out for the brake peddal spring fighting you on that side when gwtting the back bolt started!

★★★★★5bywshadowrs

I am a newbie motorcycle owner and wanted to protect the bike from damage if I were to go down. It so happens that the day I installed this product I went for a ride and took a corner to wide on a narrow street, with a meridian down the center and hit the curb of the meridian, which dumped me from the bike. The bars did their job and the bike did not get a scratch. I walked away with a few minor bruises to the body but mostly to my ego.
The product was easy to install and fit perfectly on my 2010 Honda shadow RS. The only issue I had was that a wire cable was fastened to one of the vertical risers so had to move it to mount the clamp which secures the upper portion of the bar.
I would recommend this item to others. I like the way it looks as well.

★★★★☆4byJUDYm1

Look great on Honda 750 Aero. Problem: Tturn signals hit bar when turned tight.
Solution: Put rear turn signals up front and vs. Rear stock signals are not as long and clear bar. Hassle; yes, but I didn't need to buy more stuff.

★★★★☆4byaktrucker

Bars fit correctly....I give them
a 4 because the small center
mount bolt was such low grade the threads stripped before it was even tight.

★★★★★5bywpbowlingtech

Bars looked great,and were very easy to install. Installed in minutes. Really added a cool look for our Vstar 250.

★★★★★5byRubytuesdayfla

The size is perfect for my bike. Look's awesome!! Very well made!

★★★★★5byunicorn03

Performs as expected. I am a 50 y.o. woman and installed these by myself. Just need a big 'C' clamp once in place to compress the brackets and make room for the new spacers.

★★★★★5byteressa3857

This bar looks great on my 2008 Honda Rebel. It's a perfect fit and was super easy/fast to install. I would definitely recommend!

★★★★☆4byBren2345

looks Great

★★★★★5byLancer963

went on easy and looks fantastic

★★★★★5byjwhite1129

This highway bar saved me this summer during a little mishap. I went down ever so slowly, but fast enough to bend the bar around my leg. It saved me in words! .. I had it repaired for the summer, but did not like the integrety of the weld, so have replaced it with the same bar. I am still a new rider and learn lots and lots from friends, as well as the people I speak with at J&P. Awesome thanks much!

★★★☆☆3byeccleme

The bars look nice and weren't too difficult to install, however, either the lower mounting brackets should be approximately 1 1/2 - 2 inches longer or the bar should be redesigned to allow for easier shifting and breaking. As is, the foot shifter and rear brake pedal are too close to the highway bar making shifting and braking awkward.

★★★★★5bybillber

Cobra quality and fit was excellent. Product was easy to install with no problems at all. I have bought other cobra products and have always been satisfied. J&p Cycles service was also excellent.

★★★★★5byRobertAOrr@verizon.net

The bar went on the bike easily and looks great!

★★★★☆4byDavis122086

The bars look great on my bike and the install was easy, however, I did have to remove the exhaust system. Overall, I am happy the with purchase and the end result.

★★★★☆4byJohn Suhay

Upper bracket on left side did not line up well an is almost in contact with front engine cylinder head, but still looks and functions fine!

★★★★★5byTheJamster1

Tight fit on left side, look good.

★★★★★5bymtexum

These look awesome on my Shadow Ace! Everyone says my bike looks like a Harley, which I wasn't intentionally trying to do but I will take the compliments.

★★★★☆4byRESCUE575

Bars look great on my '01 Shadow ACE Deluxe. Pretty easy install though I did have to unbolt the exhaust to get to the bolts on the pipe side. But I got it done and have no bike mechanical skills. Just used a little common sense. Shipping sucked but to my understanding they just moved their warehouse and we're working out the kinks. JP made good of the inconvenience by enrolling me I to the gold club. Would have given 5 stars but the inconvenience knocked it down a star. 5 Stars for JP response to the issue though!

★★★★★5bydamcas@yahoo.com

great looking bars, a little hard to install but they were worth it

★★★★★5byokielakerat

★★★★★5byokielakerat

great product looks great on my bike and my husbands

★★★★★5bycornbread1973

These things are great!!! I bought a set of these for my VT1100 Shadow Spirit and I'm loving these. So please give these a try for the money and look....

★★★★★5bylaltieri

Highway bars were easy to install. Chrome finish was flawless. Very happy with this product.

★★★★☆4byhondero3

Great product, high quality, it is a little tough to install on the 95to99 vt1100 ace shadow but well worth it it looks great on the bike plus it should offer protection, tip if you are installing this on a 95to99 vt1100 ace, put the top bolts, lockwasher and nut first, then do the bottom starting with left side,right side after, don't tighten anything until u have everything put together then pull the bar forward and tighten all the bolts that way it wont put pressure onthe lower radiator hose etc it is pretty tight under there but is workable, I did'nt had any trouble with the install I did'nt even scratch the bar etc.

★★★★★5byoldude69

great piece and looks great. shipping was free and arrived very quick.

★★★★☆4bysggarner1

1998 Honda Shadow ACE
Install required removing after-market lower exhaust pipe. To facilitate access to upper bolt holes, I also removed the chrome cylinder head covers. Install requires two people - bar needs to be compressed slightly to get upper bolts started, and you need a helper for that.
Getting the washers and nuts on the 4 upper bolts was a real challenge. Do you have a friend with fingers that are 8" x 1/4" and have two extra joints in them? If not, try this: after drilling the upper holes out (and painting them) put a drift pin through the hole in the frame, use RV sealant to set the washer and nut in place, let it set-up, and then do the install. Right lower bolt provided was about 1/2" too short - pick up another one before you start. Recommend using Lock-Tite on all bolts. Bar blocks access to bottom bolt on radiator cowl: before you start, remove bolt; when you finish, put a long heavy-duty zip-tie through bolt holes and around the bar. I'm riding on pegs (not floorboards), and the pegs come down right against the bar. This is OK, but it means learning to move my feet straight in/out and not to the side.

★★★★☆4bycrimsontide43

Very nice looking bars.....pain in the tail to install.

★★★★★5bycrimsontide43

Great Item, royal pain in the tail to install. Had issues with the upper bolts. Very close quarters. Ended up gluing the nuts and lock washers togather and then putting glue on my finger tip to push up inside to get the bolts to bite and finnish pulling the nut and washer togather. It worked and am very pleased with the end results

★★★★★5bysusanneal

Looks great and something my bike needed

★★★★☆4bybculley

Bars look good!

★★★★★5byDarb1234

Wonderful bars!! Fit great. The only problem I had was getting to the nuts to tighten them without removing the tank. I also threaded the bolt holes for added security as long as they had to be enlarged anyway.

★★★★★5bybigjimmyclay

Easy to install. I love the look and now with foot pegs added I can ride with little more comfort.

★★★★★5bygtodalep

Easy to install, look great. I have already used them and they saved my tank and handlebars. That is why I bought them!!

★★★★★5byvkramos

Excellent product. I should've bought it earlier. Discovered an easy way to get the bolt in place. After threading a thread through the hole, I tied it to the head of the bolt and pulled it through until the bolt slide in and through the hole.

★★★★★5bydroark

i love it, makes bike look good and safer, like the shape of it too.

★★★☆☆3byherbivore

Good stock highway bars. Nice chroming easy to install. Not crazy about having to relocate the horn to mount. Maybe should be metioned before hand that it is required.

★★★★★5bymattlong

fits perfect, didnt see the horn relocator bracket in the box until after I modified the one on the bike but it was there.

★★★★★5bykac5623

I love these! I just wished they made a rear pair to fit the '04 800 Vulcan classic.

★★★★★5byxul0999

Installed in about half an hour. Look great

★★★★★5bynchl20@yahoo.com

This was a great add to my bike. The installation was very easy and bolted right on. The product was an awesome look!

Replaced the OEM bars that were pretty much useless. These are a great fit, good looking set of bars and the install was easy and quick.

★★★★★5byharrisonrj

Arrived on time and fits perfectly, took less then 15mins to set up. Very pleased with it :-)

★★★★★5bysteve1009

better protection and easy to put on

★★★★☆4byC90rider

The Cobra Freeway bar is great, instalation was relatively easy. I did have to make a little adjustment on the bottom mount point to get the bar on the bikes frame. The mounting tabs were welded an 1/16 of an inch to close to each other. No big deal.

★★★★☆4bydeputy161

Instructions were not very clear. But once I got the bars on I have been very happy.

★★★★☆4byRonSchmidt

Needs better installation instuctions.

★★★★★5byKristopherGeorge

Installed easily. Looks great!

These bars were very easy to mount. Wish the bar went straight across on the bottom instead of the top, but they look great!!!

Great bar. Was easy to install took about an hour doing it by yourself.

★★★★★5byicedalepm205

Great looking!! Easy to install

★★★★★5byghostrider21

Real nice product. Fits real close and tight. Possible too nice of fit. I wear a size 10 boot and sometimes the bar interferes when braking if I place brake pad too low on the boot.

★★★★★5bysaken80

haven't got them installed on wifes bike yet but look like very good quality bars.

★★★★★5byHD4SNO

Great looking highway bar, fit perfectly on wife's Vstar. 10-12 min install. very nice look great on bike. very satisfied.

★★★★☆4byAkb

Would of been 5 stars , but the only thing is the stock mounting bolts at the floor boards are to short only catching by a few threads. For the price it should come with longer bolts

★★★★★5bymystar

I was worried that these bars would not fit my bike. I own a 2015 Yamaha V- Star Custom. The fitment for these bars indicated that they would fit my bike,so I ordered them, but when I got the bars, the packing list indicated that were for a V star 650 ( did not specify classic or custom ), from 99 to 2011. The instructions from Cobra stated that they were for a 650 Classic from 98 to 2010. I asked the tech support here at J & P on the Live help and Kyle T. told me that they would fit my bike and that the packing slip and instructions were outdated. I then called Cobra and they told me the bars would only fit a V star Classic not a Custom. To make a long story short, these bars do fit my bike a 2015 V star custom despite what Cobra and the packing instructions and silp indicated. Dont be afraid to order these bars if you own a V star custom, they WIIL FIT YOUR BIKE ! J & P is correct and Cobra is wrong. The bars will work on both a V star classic and a V star custom and they look great !

★★★★☆4byBobarian

Instructions are easy to follow and the quality is second to none. The highway bars have been on the bike for less than one month and we had extremely high winds which tipped the bike over. The bars kept the bike protected and weren't even scratched! They also look great!

★★★★☆4byadamsrp

Very good, sturdy highway bar. Literally had it installed in less than 10 minutes on my bike. Looks good and I haven't scuffed them yet.

★★★★★5bybluejair

Quick & easy installation

★★★★★5bydkrighter

These bars are great. They look great and function great. The swept-forward design does not interfere with foot controls, and the bars will support the bike's weight. Very easy installation - excellent mounting design. Very pleased with these bars!

★★★★★5byearlddavis

Fit my VT750c2 spirit to a tee

★★★★★5bysdavi584

fit real great and look really classy would recommend them to anyone!!

★★★★☆4bygswingholm

Fairly quick to install, though not as easy as another set of bars I bought for the other bike. Had a panick brake couple of days after it was install and it held up just as designed, though.

★★★★★5byw0348550

Add some foot pegs to them and they are one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Easy to install and looks nice on the bike. Not as tall as I would like but it fulfills the intended purpose.
